Will You Believe In Media Bias Now?

This is from an online forum from the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education:

I hate conservatives

Posted by Dee on Oct 04, 2007

Conservatives are all of the mentally ill people in society. It's not what they claim to believe that makes them so bad, it's the fact that they believe the same things, like in lock step, that makes them so bad. They love to perseverate about black people, ad nauseum and point fingers, endlessly. While the rest of us are trying to make a living, dealing with real life and putting up with daily hassles, conservatives are narcissist who have answers for everyone, on everything at every level. They really need to get over themselves. I am not a liberal but definitely not mentally ill enough to be a conservative.

When she actually becomes a reporter, I'll bet she'll talk about how unbiased she is. She'll no doubt fit right in at many media outlets.

Oh, it's advocacy journalism that gets you hyperventilating? Well, let's just see what the pros are up to:

It's somewhere on ABC's web site but I didn't feel like digging it up so the leftoid gets the clicks. In any case, it's a pretty grievous case of advocacy journalism and it almost looks like Engels is anxious to make his monthly quota of story-slanting.

What is really ironic is this is the same thing many of us say about Liberals. I certainly don't think they live in the real world.

I have a post on my blog on a story about a "self deporting illegal alien" that is obviously a CNN plant by someone with an agenda. Planting stories is an old school way to slant the news. Irving TX was working with ICE to deport those here illegally who were caught at traffic stops and had histories of criminal or civil violations. There were people from 37 different countries, not just Mexico, deported. But the main people who protested two different times, were majority Mexicans. They cite this as an issue of racism. If that's the case them what about all those others from other countries. They also try to say that they aren't harming anyone, but having had a family member injured in an accident with an illegal alien with no insurance, no license and evidently, a fake address, I cannot stress enough that this is a much more serious problem than the media likes to report. Right now in our area, they will note the ethnicity of every single suspect EXCEPT Hispanics. The only reason for this is the fear that people will get a clue that this is something that needs to be fixed and fast.
